Thoughts on a Quiet Night by Li Pai (Li Po)

Before my bed the light is so bright
it looks like a layer of frost
lifting my head I gaze at the moon
lying back down I think of home

    • I actually love this poem and have posted three different translations of it by Seaton and Hinton, too. Some poems just speak to us in ways we just don’t quite understand.
